The New 'Do

I almost forgot to document the occasion. Taylor was being so cute, she wanted me to hold her hand or just close enough so she could lean on me the whole time...she was a little nervous. But the smile wouldn't show it!

Getting there, that one snip sure made us go short...

Trying to distract her with some video's...it didn't really work

Pile of hair

Short haired girl

And she's still cute as ever!

It's not funny yet!

We're getting ready for the big Halloween party tonight and I am helping Lincoln make fire for his dragon to breath, actually we were all helping. Take note of this beautiful little girls long hair! I've grown very attached to this hair, actually everything about her littleness, probably because she is our last baby and that stage is fading away more and more everyday!

Lincoln working away diligently.

Hailey being bashful

Methodical Payden helping make fire

Almost there. As you know kids projects get interrupted and this project was no exception. I was cutting the pieces of fire when Taylor needed her diaper changed. When I came back, I finished cleaning up a little bit and then went to cut more pieces of fire when I couldn't find the scissors...weird, I just had them. I looked for about a minute and retraced my steps and couldn't find them. So I checked the most logical explanation...Hailey. That's when I walked in on Taylor with the scissors up to Hailey's hair. Thinking I had just prevented a minor disaster I didn't get too frustrated and walked away. Right about then Taylor walked in to the kitchen and the true disaster was realized...

Hailey had the scissors first...

And now Taylor is about to get short hair!

I about cried

This is still not funny at all!

My plans of a beautiful little crown braid on my cute little knight for tonight has been dashed! For a second I entertained the idea of just giving her a mullet but quickly decided against that. Reinforcements are on the way to fix it and give my baby doll a cute little bob. But I will miss this long hair. Once I showed her what it looked like she was very sad if you can't tell...so am I!

Shortened Up The Scragles

Hailey's hair had been growing for a while, and while I love that it's long enough to fix, the time had come to shorten it up. So Jer called and set her up for an appointment since he has always been the one to take them in. Then Hailey had a little freak out and wanted me to take her, which I'll be honest...didn't bother me one bit! So here she is pre-cut...

And after...

And we had a coupon for a free kids ice cream from cold stone and she picked cotton candy and marshmallows...

She is so beautiful!

Sponge Curlers

When my sisters and I were little we were victims of sponge curler sleeping. I liked it, I'll be honest, curly hair that actually held the curl. It was fun.


Well Payden is obsessed with having curly hair and she is one of the unlucky ones who's hair does not hold style very well. So I broke down and got some sponge curlers for her, and she is obsessed. Want's it done every night, and she bounces even more during the day because of it.

Before (yes she needs her glasses all the time, it was just time for bed)

And After. You are looking at one happy girl.
